Chapter 98
When Su Yin arrived at Jian Shu's house, she saw Jian Shu skillfully tying an apron and taking out fresh ingredients. He greeted her briefly and then quickly started busying himself in the kitchen.
Su Yin did as he said, casually sitting on the sofa in the living room. However, although she turned on the TV and seemed to be watching it, her eyes were fixed on the person in the kitchen cooking. It was unclear what she was thinking.
Although she could only see his back, Su Yin could tell that Jianshu's movements were very skillful. In about half an hour, he prepared four dishes and a soup.
The two sat facing each other at the table, neither showing any sign of discomfort. Jian Shu brought the last serving of rice and dishes to Su Yin, introducing her specialty and asking her to try it.
Before cooking, Jianshu had already asked Su Yin if she had any food restrictions or favorite foods.
As soon as the dishes arrived, Su Yin couldn't find a single fault. The colors were vibrant, the presentation was clean, the aromas were rich, the combinations were perfect, and they were all her favorites.
Su Yin took a bite and found it delicious, not inferior to the ones in restaurants outside. It was truly delicious and of a very high standard.
She couldn't help but look up at Jian Shu again, and felt that his current image and cooking skills made him a perfect "house husband".
They chatted about the latest news and new songs at the dining table for a while, and almost finished all the food on the table.
After finishing her meal, Su Yin touched her bulging belly and felt very satisfied.
The food is delicious without being cloying. It truly has a homely flavor, and after eating it, you don't feel overwhelmed. Instead, you feel incredibly happy and satisfied, leaving you wanting nothing more than to lie back and relax.
On New Year's Day, the two of them had dinner alone at home, but they didn't talk about anything different from their usual topics.
Su Yin followed Jian Shu to visit the whole house. She looked at the piles of music CDs that Jian Shu had bought in the past and the various musical instruments, certificates and awards he had used for learning. The more she looked, the more amazed she was.
"Have you been winning so many awards since you were very young?" Su Yin looked at the shelf full of various honors and felt like she was dreaming of Yuexiang Entertainment.
Jianshu couldn't help but laugh: "I guess so." He was not modest, nor did he need to be modest. He had indeed been winning various awards from when he was a few years old to college, and even the ones placed here were only the honors he had received before high school.
"Don't you really want to be an artist?" Su Yin had a professional disease. Looking at Jian Shen, who had outstanding appearance and talent, she couldn't help but joke with him.
Jian Shu quickly shook his head: "No, no, I don't like being a public figure."
Looking at the various musical instruments and old CDs in his home, Su Yin guessed that someone in his family might have a musical background. Upon asking, she realized it was indeed the case. Jian Shuo's grandfather and mother were both music students, both nationally recognized university professors.
Jian Shu's family had plenty of musical instruments. Su Yin mentioned that she had also bought the piano and guitar she had learned to play before, so Jian Shu asked her to try out the piano or guitar she had learned to play before.
Su Yin sat in front of the piano. Jian Shu was worried that the piano had not been used for a while and the pitch was not accurate, so she squatted down to tune it for her.
The two looked at each other and then turned away calmly.
Jianshu tried it for a while and said to her, "It should be fine."
Su Yin was a little nervous for once. She looked up at Jian Shu who was looking down at her and said, "Can you please stop looking at me? I'm an amateur rehabilitator."
The sunlight poured into the room, shining on Jian Shu, making his expression look even softer. He laughed and said, "Okay, you can try it."
Su Yin began to concentrate on recalling the song she had played for the judges during the trainee selection. The music score seemed to be imprinted in her mind. She had tried to recall it not long ago and found that she could only play it intermittently.
Jian Shu also looked at her quietly until the song was finished.
After returning home, Su Yin unexpectedly received another message from Jian Shu: "I know there's a great music club gathering in 2020. Do you want to come and join us?"
Su Yin typed back: "Okay, just tell me the time and place in advance."
The other party quickly replied: "ヾ(●????｀●)? Then let's have dinner together next time?"
Su Yin's hand paused. She actually understood the meaning of Jian Shu's statement, and her heartbeat slowed down.
After thinking for a while, she slowly typed: "Okay, I'm not a good cook, so I won't embarrass myself. I'll find a restaurant to invite you next time?"
The message on the other end was replied immediately: "Okay, looking forward to it. One last thing to say: Happy New Year!"
Su Yin looked at her phone and couldn't help but smile.
This year is really great.
——Years later——
The Mysterious Girl's concert tour officially began, and the first stop was naturally the domestic tour. Su Yin also planned to attend several concerts overseas.
Regardless of the popularity of Mystery Girl, concert promotion still needed to be done, especially in overseas locations where they had never been before. After confirming the specific cities, venues, and dates for the concerts, Yuexiang Entertainment not only negotiated with the largest local media companies and television stations about the concert promotion plan, but also received countless resources from the local governments.
After all, they are incredibly popular and have never done business overseas before. Overseas fans can only rely on Yuexiang Entertainment's local resources to maintain fan engagement. Even if the artists learn some foreign languages and regularly release videos and songs specifically for their overseas fans, it still doesn't compare to a personal visit.
Therefore, upon hearing the news of the concert's overseas stops, businessmen from around the world were naturally excited, hoping to cash in on the opportunity of their concert. They also wanted to be the first to appear on a foreign TV show, in a foreign GG, or in a foreign magazine.
There are countless interviews with various gg merchants and media.
This also means that the company has to spend more and more time to plan their entire concert, and more and more work schedules have to be added.
The quality of many resources is very high, and partners in many countries directly provide their local first-line resources, which the company cannot give up after repeated selection.
In addition to the huge revenue these resources bring, on the one hand, they can better promote the concerts, and on the other hand, they can further enhance the group's influence overseas.
This is especially true in neighboring countries, which have a deep influence on flower-growing culture and similar aesthetics. Several groups previously launched by Yuexiang Entertainment have also been very popular in these countries, making them the easiest to penetrate the market.
This time, Su Yin plans to personally accompany the members of Mysterious Girl to several countries in order to vigorously promote Yuexiang Entertainment's overseas strategic plan.
Currently, the company already has some overseas trainees. In the future, the company will undoubtedly have more and more artists, requiring a larger and broader market. Yuexiang Entertainment has already established a presence in the overseas market, and with the timing perfect and the opportunity for a concert like this, Su Yin naturally wouldn't let it go.
Building a website and navigating logistics were just the beginning. Su Yin was already considering establishing dedicated offices in several target countries, establishing a local presence, and deploying dedicated overseas staff to promote Yuexiang Entertainment's overseas business. She had to personally inspect and sign some important strategic agreements, and she also wanted to visit other countries to gain a better understanding of the idol market and people's preferences.
As far as she knows, due to the popularity of the YueXiang Entertainment group and variety shows, many countries overseas have also begun to operate their own local idol artists.
Now that Yuexiang Entertainment has stronger strength and more abundant funds, she cannot miss the opportunity.
Besides the usual GG resources and appearances on local TV shows, Su Yin has other plans. She wants to bring not only her company's artists overseas, but also her idol artist management methods and these variety shows and short dramas that are also very influential and well-received overseas.
So, after discussion, Su Yin directly took a team of variety show production and idol training and flew overseas in advance.
So, Su Yin, who arrived first in the overseas country, brought her team and directly contacted several major entertainment companies and commercial TV stations. The companies, TV stations, and GG distributors who had originally just wanted to take advantage of the Mysterious Girl concert to gain some extra benefits from their event soon realized something was amiss.
The local entertainment industry also knew in advance that the president of Yuexiang Entertainment Company had personally flown in with a large group of people.
However, at first, they didn't understand the situation. Why did the person in charge of Yuexiang Entertainment bring so many people? Were they all staff who came to prepare for the concert in advance?
Then they saw the Yuexiang Entertainment team visit several entertainment companies and TV stations, and were always escorted out by their executives with great enthusiasm and reluctance. This happened more than once or twice, and someone finally leaked the news.
Yuexiang Entertainment intended to use this concert as an opportunity to establish a strong presence in the market, but they also knew that a powerful dragon could not easily defeat a local snake. They had no plans to open another Yuexiang Entertainment overseas and replicate the domestic model. Instead, they planned to find overseas partners to help manage Yuexiang Entertainment's artists' local business, assist them in developing local idols, and film local variety shows.
As soon as this news came out, it caused quite a stir overseas.
Many companies are urgently contacting Yuexiang Entertainment, hoping to become their partners. Some people also feel that just because they are popular in their own country and can attract fans overseas, it doesn't mean they can actually do business abroad or film programs that will have a big impact. After all, "not acclimatizing" is a common saying in their country.
But Su Yin and her team were full of confidence. They hadn't come in rashly, but had accumulated years of experience and carefully studied the national conditions of many countries before choosing Country T—the country closest to them, the one most deeply influenced by their culture, and the one with the most distinct national characteristics—to showcase their skills.
Moreover, people's pursuit of beauty, strength, victory, brilliance, etc. are common.
They planned to help Mysterious Girls lay a solid foundation here before they finished their domestic tour and started their overseas tour, and to help Yuexiang Entertainment lay a solid foundation overseas!
The author has something to say: I'm really unsure how to write a satisfying ending for this one, so I'll get back to the main story tomorrow! I'll also let you know when I'll be writing the sequel, so you don't have to wait in vain!
